I like the idea of putting the exercises in and seeing muscle coverage, that's really cool!

The biggest hurdle for weightlifting for me is the data entry. I usually just have a set routine I go through, and recording weight and achieved reps is what I need to do. I tried the generate feature here, and was presented with a very complex interface that I wasn't sure would streamline my weightlifting experience. I don't feel like I struggle with determining how much weight to lift each time; I just keep it simple: similar weight as last time but maybe increase by a single increment on the last few sets.

The Spaces feature reminds me of how Movie Clips were used in the old days of Macromedia Flash, where I'd put many different often-independently-running clips overlayed on top of each other to encapsulate different behavior. Of course Spaces sounds even more flexible. Very neat.

I'm not seeing documentation linked in the readme or within the github project. Are there how-tos and tutorials anywhere?

One thing I realize while reading this is that, having recently signed up for a local gym, I'll lose that "alone time in the home gym", where I would often listen to podcasts and watch videos while I lift. Sure, I can get some headphones and lug my phone around at the local gym, but it's certainly not as conducive to learning as having a screen set up that I can walk around and view as I work out.

You could use your tech skills to do some freelancing a la Upwork, Fiverr, etc.

You could look on Cofounderslab for someone looking for a tech cofounder and start a business together.

You could go into one of the in-demand job fields such as construction or truck driving.

and you can code with them inside vi or vim!

Strongly agree. JS and the DOM have come a long way in the last decade or so, and it's refreshing to be able to leverage simple solutions like the one he's suggesting.

Not everything needs to start with an all-in-one package that provides minimal-repaint templating, data binding, shared state management, component slots, hooks, directives, etc. When you do want to use one of those things, there are sometimes simple ad-hoc solutions that can work well, and often YAGNI can take one further than one thinks.

The gif at the top was very interesting. The shrinking of the North America and Russia were really surprising to me, as I had always looked at them as much more significant land masses.

A little off-topic from projections, but I just returned from a trip to Seoul a few days ago, and I found a simplified subway map to be so much easier to use than Google Maps' more realistic-but-less-relevant map. Subway map design has always intrigued me in that it ignores so much in terms of position and proportion, but at the same time can relay the needed information so much more clearly.

This is really cool, good job on the release! I love how it gives a time and price estimate. I'm currently in the process of building an itinerary for a couple cities overseas, so this will be fun to generate ideas with.

It would be a lot more helpful if I could input where in the city I'll be staying, and/or which airport I'll be arriving/departing from so that I have a better idea about travel effort/time for each destination.

I didn't see in the article the volume of water it can filter before the sponge is saturated, and the volume of acidic water it takes to then rinse the sponge of the metals.

Also, after rinsing, how easy is it to recover the rinsed metal from the acidic solution if they want to gather something like cobalt for re-use, which they imply might be something they'd want to do?

Does anyone know of any modern linux desktop environments that are specifically designed for 1-bit or grayscale? I really like the nice clean look as demonstrated here.

The "M" in the title is black hidden in a black square in my Firefox browser. Not the greatest first impression for a page about css.

Looks like a good collection of recipes though.

I once left my kid in a minivan that had both sliding doors open and all windows open. It was in front of a house and I had just gone to the back of the house. Someone called the cops on me and also had the audacity to scold me and my wife.

People can be very quick to judge when it comes to stuff like that. They hear stories about hot car deaths and see a kid that is in no real danger but they see a car and a kid and draw a thoughtless conclusion. I'm not sure how we can as a society improve this situation though. There do seem to be a lot of PSA commercials about stuff like that, but I don't think we need to decrease those. Or would it be better to add more detail to the PSAs to clarify when someone's not in danger? Seems like overcomplicating what should be common sense...

I'd love to hear an answer to this question from someone in the industry. Could it somehow be added to the Open Banking standards that are becoming widely adopted, or might it be introduced in a similar manner?

On a related note, does anyone know of any algorithms that will automatically edit out non-words, stammering, etc.? When I make audiobooks and such, the editing out of mistakes and other sounds is the majority of my work.

Agreed. The OP mentions not being dependent on the weather, but I find jogging can be done regardless of the weather, it just depends on what clothing you can put on. Also, playgrounds seem to abound here in the U.S., and they're great for catching a quick round of pull-ups or other hanging exercises. I would say most are usually not crowded, and are often empty in the mornings or late evenings.

Same; I'm not seeing any difference either.

Maxing my 401k, and we're trying to buy rental houses whenever we have enough money and credit. Hopefully someday we can get enough that my wife can retire first, and then I can retire. We'll see.

A quick wish list of things I'd love to do when I retire (of course this is a long ways away right now, so it's very tentative): - Focus more on exercise and health. - Hike and camp more, and enjoy the beautiful parks the U.S. has to offer. - Motorcycle around, maybe go on long road trips. - Connect with my kids more, and help them with their own kids. - Be more social, and have people over more often. - Keep contributing to open source. - Cultivate my drawing and writing skills - Maybe move to Europe for a bit. I love the idea of living in someplace like the Irish countryside, with their beautiful culture, history, and landscape.

Well, part of it is that PHP was initially one of only a few options, and since then new languages and technologies like Node have appeared and slowly eroded that market share by the simple fact that they are competition. Node became popular for the many good qualities it has: isomorphism, simplicity, etc., and I don't think php devs in particular moved to node as much as devs in general gravitated toward it.

If you look at PHP vs Node in Google Trends, you can see the PHP decline was well on its way before Node.js came on the scene in 2009.

I used to love PHP, but these days JS is good enough that I don't feel the need to look back. My personal JS projects still look PHP-ish in the sense that they're very simplistic, often lacking a build step and often even lacking a framework. I do like having more control over the server logic than what I remember having with PHP (granted this was the days of WAMP and LAMP, and I hear with docker and nginx things are nicer now). I also like the fact that I can go to a single place (npmjs) for both my browser-side and server-side libs because sometimes I haven't decided yet where it'll reside.

How much damage does it do compared to, say, sitting in the summer sun for 20 minutes?

Also makes me curious about those UV teeth-whitening devices and whether there is any similar research for them. I don't know how valid such a concern would be, but it seems reasonable to assume that the skin inside the mouth wasn't designed to be exposed to UV as much as skin on the outside of the body, so I wonder if it's more susceptible to damage from that type of thing.

Whoa, this is huge! I love the explanation too. The low-diameter decomposition part was very interesting. This is one of the things I love about graph theory- there are so many solved and nearly-solved problems and concepts that might be useful to each other. It's like a problem set that comes with its own toolbox to tinker with.

I remember one client saying to me something like "So and so does a lot of X, and such and such is really churning out Y. What exactly would you say your focus is in this project?" At the time I gave a very unsatisfactory answer, but looking back, a lot of what I was doing was glue work and working across the stack. This looks like a great resource to help me next time I have trouble articulating such things.

Reminded me of another article I saw on HN recently, where sometimes a lot of the work done by a senior software engineer is "being glue", which is not as recognizable. When it comes time to slice the pie for stamps, a "glue" baker would probably get a pretty small slice: https://noidea.dog/glue

Also reminded me of a place I used to work which grew from being a flat organization to a more hierarchical one. Once the hierarchies were introduced, there was fierce competition to get to those few coveted spots, and it sadly changed a lot of the dynamics around the place. People who used to not care about position and recognition were suddenly faced with it making a much more recognizable impact in their lives, and it was a lot harder to dismiss as "not the point of it all".

If true, that would make a lot more sense. Can someone please provide a reference link to corroborate?

What is the name of that genre of manga? I'd be very interested to check it out, but am not sure what to type into the search engine. Any help is appreciated!

Seems to say less about the generation and more about what age the generation currently is. Younger people are of course going to spend less on healthcare and more on alcohol, for instance. If you went back in time to when Millenials/GenXers were young, they'd probably have a more similar spending profile to what Gen Z has here.

The last gov team I was on had trouble with the uswds icon set. There didn't seem to be a way to import them as a font rather than as separate svgs. We noticed though that the icons were roughly based on Material Design icons, so we used the Material Design icon fonts instead and they were close enough. There were still a few icons that didn't map over, but we found some others within the new set that sufficed.

I really enjoyed Ruby Koans. I feel like it gave me a solid feel for the language in a fairly short amount of time.

Really cool project and happy to provide some feedback! I like the simple but clean interface.

I'm having decent success for searched songs so far. Sometimes I'm not sure why the top songs were picked for similarity but as I go further down the list I can start to hear some similar sounds, but I guess that's just my subjective opinion so I'm not sure how helpful that is.

I looked up Roy Orbison's "In Dreams", and the top result had a VERY similar accompaniment, which was great to hear. But then listening to the next one down on the list, it's the exact same song mislabeled as a completely different one, not sure what happened there, or if that's a bug in the sound loading logic (looking up that song on Youtube it is totally different). Also was surprised going down that list how many singers have similar voices to Roy Orbison, unless that's also mislabeling? Not sure what to think there.

Seems like there are two problems you're trying to solve: 1. getting traffic/discoverability 2. a nice platform upon which to blog

I think if you solve the two with separate tools you might get better options. For example for a nice blogging platform, you can try gonevis.com or blogger.com then promote posts on places like reddit/HN/Twitter, etc.

I certainly see your point that any unsatisfactorily complete benefit-drawback list is going to seem like a strawman. I meant to point out some of the more commonly stated benefits and contrast them to the less commonly considered drawbacks, but I would also enjoy seeing this thread evolving into a more complete list.

I also agree with your other point that that is a benefit for having more bells and whistles in a single branch of dependencies.
